# Blocking & Reporting

- [About Bans](https://guide.ci.me/en/viewer-guide/blocking-and-reporting/about-bans.md): A CI.ME ban blocks chat, donations, subscriptions, and clips but still allows viewing. Durations run from 1 minute to permanent and cover alternate logins.
- [About Hiding Users](https://guide.ci.me/en/viewer-guide/blocking-and-reporting/about-hiding-users.md): Hiding is a personal CI.ME setting that removes a user's chat messages and clip comments from your view only. Channel owners and moderators are exempt.
- [Reporting Users](https://guide.ci.me/en/viewer-guide/blocking-and-reporting/reporting-users.md): Report CI.ME live streams, VODs, clips, comments, or community posts under one of five reasons. A new report is blocked while an earlier one is pending.
